Title: A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas Genre: Comedy Starring: John Cho, Kal Penn, Neil Patrick Harris Director: Todd Strauss-Schulson Studio: Warner Bros. Runtime: 89 minutes In Theatres: November 4, 2011 MPAA Rating: Rating: () Grade: B- It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and you know what that means? Holiday movies. While your typical holiday movies revolve around family gatherings or magical elves, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas takes Christmas to the extreme in glorious stoner fashion. Six years have passed since Harold and Kumar have seen each other. In that time, Harold has gotten married and bought a house while Kumar, well, Kumar is still the same weed smoking druggie he’s always been. In an effort to please his new father-in-law, Harold must find the perfect Christmas tree by the night’s end after the old tree was accidentally set on fire at the hands of Kumar. In typical Harold & Kumar fashion, the two engage in a quest to reclaim Christmas.
If you’re a fan of these types of films, you’re going to love this third chapter in the Harold & Kumar franchise. It has all the drug use, sex references, and ridiculous situations the franchise is known for, only they’re taken to the next level. Best of all, it’s in 3D. Objects will fly out of the screen, smoke will literally be blown in your face, and crazy stoner trips will feel all the more real. At times, they go a bit overboard on the 3D effects, but you can definitely tell that the film has utilized the technology. If you’re debating whether to see it in 3D or 2D, it’s worth the extra few bucks. Perhaps the best thing, however, is the fact that the film doesn’t take itself seriously. The cast and crew aren’t afraid to point out the fact that it’s in 3D or that Neal Patrick Harris played Carl Jenkins in Starship Troopers. Speaking of NPH, the man is a genius. You can’t not love him and everything he does in the film, from his womanizing playboy antics to mocking himself about being gay. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is absolutely ridiculous and crazy but you can’t help but laugh at it. It’s more of the same stuff from previous films so you know what you’re getting into. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, Santa delivers one mean Christmas present this year. |
